Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Garland District

The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The main counterweight is economic stress at 2.9/10.

Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 3/10. The filing record is not thin: 84 evictions over 3 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2015 at 5.2% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 4.3% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 79% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Spokane County average of 5.7 closely. Average gross rent is $1,224, close to the Spokane average.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $68,949.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
